never write something like $a = $a + $a++;

if you f.e. try such a construct in C you will get different
results depending on the compiler and/or optimisation level.

<? 
$a = 7;
$a = $a + $a++;
echo $a; 
//the result is 14;
?>

When I add a reference to $a, the behavior of $a + $a++ becomes
inexplicable different. Note that $a isn't changed anywhere!

<?
$a = 7;
$b =& $a;
$a = $a + $a++;
echo $a; 
//the result is 15;
?>

The only difference is $b =& $a, but why $a takes care of references to
itself?
